>>> you heard jeb bush say this tonight about donald trump. [ inaudible ] >> but is tough talk enough to turn his campaign around. >>> also tonight you know the words from the declaration of independence, words that define america and promise the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. but where do you draw the line between liberty and safety? where do you stand? metal detectors at disney world, government reading your text and e-mails, shutting down the internet itself? what will it take to keep the nation safe? i want to start with jeb bush and what he told john berman. i know -- we were there and saw him take on donald trump in the debate. what is he saying now? >> it's clearly a new jeb bush. and you can tell by watching him on the debate stage and on the stump. i talked to him some about donald trump. it's a subject that jeb bush seems now after several months excited to talk about and excited to hit hard. listen. >> this guy's not going to win the nomination. that's the basic point. he's not going to win the nomination because he's not a serious candidate. an

. jeb bush has a plan... to destroy them. and keep america safe. jeb bush: the united states should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out isis with overwhelming force. announcer: tested and proven leadership matters. jeb bush. right to rise usa is responsible for the content mr. trump: donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country' s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. fernando: donald trump' s recent call for, in his words, "a total shutdown of muslims entering the u.s." drew swift condemnation from both sides of the aisle. the question is, what impact will his comments have on the election? will they have long-term implications for the republican party? largely predictable, so i asked republican strategist john feehery. fernando: tell me a little bit about the state of the race right now. donald trump is leading in most polls. it looks like his lead is solid at least for the last few months. how do you see the race? john: well, trump has got the simplest messages. he' s the b

that poll. mario rubio slipped. not a lot but he's not going up. and jeb bush and ben carsonw wa down. marco rubio let's talk about marco rubio. how long can he wait to win? >> what is his pathway? it's a big question you've heard from donors in states like iowa and new hampshire and south carolina. what is the map going forward? i think one of the most interesting things happening is marco rubio locked up the biggest prominent donors you can get. he's telling them something about the pathway forward. if you look at the polling and look where delegates are coming from there's no clear pathway forward. it stay under the radar and when people hear his personal story they'll come to him. if you finish in the top two or three in iowa or new hampshire you can maybe parlay that into sticking going forward. that said again you talk to people on the ground in new hampshire and saying what is the strategy here? where does he go? there's a real chance he's not top two or three in new hampshire. >> very possible. one important fact to keep in mind. the modern history of the gop nominee proc

joining us this hour. republican presidential candidate jeb bush just made a big announcement tonight. i think. it's a little bit hard to tell with jeb bush, but i think that in waterloo, iowa, tonight, jeb bush has just announced that he is going to pick a woman for a running mate. he's going to pick a female vice presidential running mate if he gets the republican presidential nomination. i think that's what he said. the caveat here is that it's jeb bush. and so sometimes, particularly when he thinks he's got something important to say, he kind of winds up to it and doesn't exactly execute right and it's sometimes hard to know what he means when he talks. but i think this is -- judge for yourself. he may have meant something else entirely but i think he said he wants to pick a female running mate. >> i think my dad loved ronald reagan that his loyalty was proven out. as a result, he was given responsibilities that allowed him to really add value to the relationship. that kind of relationship i think is really important. and should i be elected president, i would have my vice

that. -- aware of that. john: john kasich in jeb bush. much more of an all or nothing for john kasich, jeb bush could go on a little longer. who do you think, of those two, has a greater likelihood of a breakthrough? nicolle: jeb challenged trump to a debate today. i think -- i don't think jeb bush could have imagined this is where he would find himself, four in the establishment line with the do or die day, but that is where he is. it's not an enviable position but he is making the most of it. he has shaken off all the kinks in his campaign he was suffering from a few weeks ago. he will see if you can write that to success. john: i have said for a while that jeff was done, but -- that jeb was done, but no doubt bush has shown greater improvement. kasich has been on a down slide, bush has been on the upside. not much in the numbers, but it feels as though jeb is freer now from so much of what was weighing him down, and that freedom may unlock an ability to perform and find a moment where he could break. nicolle: and that is what he is desperate for, the moment that reminds everybody o

%, trump a distant second at 21%. ben carson slips to third at 13, marco rubio at 10, and jeb bush at 6, rounding out the top five. the cruz surge is a big threat to the central premise of the trump candidacy, and the moment is frankly more than delicious. iowa holds the kickoff caucuses in 49 days. the final debate of the year is tuesday. and cruz just got caught being everything he says he isn't, which is kind of a typical politician. in a speech, he perhaps quite foolishly thought was private, he suggested trump and carson weren't fit to be commander in chief. >> who understands the threats we face? who am i comfortable having their finger on the button? and that's a question of strength, but it's also a question of judgment and i think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them. >> and so, here we are. it's a safe bet cruz gets asked to turn to mr. trump and say that to his face tuesday night. and he either does and invites the wrath of the human chainsaw, or he looks weak or maybe too-faced, like the say one thing, do another thing politicians ted cruz has

, and we saw the most aggressive performance by jeb bush to date. donald trump said the whole thing felt like the academy awards. did anyone go with home with the prize? peter alexander up this morning early in las vegas. peter, good morning. >> hey, josÉ. good morning. this was significantly the first republican debate since both paris and san bernardino. in fact, the commander in chief debate with all the contenders trying to cast themselves as best qualified to keep americans safe. jeb bush finally found his voice against donald trump, but many people ask if it's too little, too late. and marco rubio and ted cruz certainly mixed things up. fight night in vegas. jeb bush flailing in the polls taking the gloves off against donald trump. >> so donald, you know, is great at the one-liners. but he is a chaos candidate. and he would be a chaos president. >> he has failed in this campaign. it's been a total disaster. nobody cares. >> trump's reactions alone priceless. bush argued trump isn't a serious candidate. >> i won't get my information from the shows. i don't know if that's satur

intervention, marco rubio and jeb bush, primarily. >> john berman ended his piece with what is probably the biggest news. donald trump, under intense questioning, on the stage, to me with several follow-ups. he went to the spin room and said the same thing. he's giving up the biggest leverage anybody has in this race right now and saying i will not run as a third party candidate. how big is that, maeve, and why do you think he's doing it? >> i think it's huge. as we were talking about this morning, i don't know why he did that, giving up that leverage. but at the same time, you know, it's donald trump. he could go back and -- >> what? >> and find wiggle room somewhere there. >> he was very declarative. >> i agree. he could find wiggle room someday. you're moving into a political primary. you're not a real republican or committed to the party. it takes away a line of attack for the others if he sticks with it over the next several weeks. >> why would he leave? he's winning handily in the republican party. let's listen to that moment where he declared that again. >> i am totally committed

there is marco rubio, jeb bush, carly fiorina, chris christie, john kasich and rand paul. as we said, donald trump is out in front. way out in front in some cases in national polls. the cnn poll of polls shows him at 33%. ted cruz in second place. marco rubio in third. in some polls, as i said, trump holds an even bigger lead. including this from monmouth university. trump at 41%. 27 points ahead of his closest rival. that would be ted cruz. this is one of many things that trump was bragging about at the raucous rally in las vegas. cnn's sara murray inside that loud hall. >> reporter: good morning, john. hours before the cnn debate campaigning here in las vegas last night, donald trump approached ted cruz with kid gloves. he could not help but mention the poll shows him far ahead. leading 41% to ted cruz's 14%. >> i heard today when they announced the poll. 41 to 14. i like cruz. good guy. here's how they announced. cruz surging. so what i heard is, this was on television, cruz surging. i said i don't know. that's sounds bad to me. coming up, cruz surging. then they said the monmouth

donald trump taking to late night again targeting jeb bush and even showing a touch of humili humility. we go live to washington. what's happened in the past couple hours? >> reporter: we're seeing a more introspective donald trump. he wants to unite the republican party. that's not stopping him from taking swipes at his own gop rivals. a change in tone for donald trump. on jimmy kimball overnight, a bit of self-reflection. >> i would like to see the republican party come together and i've been a little bit divisive in the sense that i've been hitting people pretty hard. >> a little bit, yeah. >> it stopped when it came to debate rival jeb bush. >> do you think jeb bush is scared of you or just scared in general? >> reporter: the front runner calling bush low energy and too nice to be tough. >> do you think he wants to run for president? >> no. he was a happy warrior but he's never been a happy warrior. >> do you think he would kill baby hitler? >> no, he's too nice. >> just hours earlier on the campaign trail in arizona, trump was decidedly unfriendly. >> rand paul doesn't ha

other candidates, jeb bush for example, have been able to do that as successfully as ted cruz has. host: we are speaking with daniel halper of "the weekly standard." i want to ask you about this what does it mean and why are they even considering this idea? guest: there was talk last time of a brokerage convention. there's always talk about this. hardly, in modern recent times, it has not come to fruition. party should be prepared for what is going on. host: what is a brokerage convention? guest: when you go in the convention, and there is not a clear winner. you go to the floor and try to win a nomination through delegates and a pairing of the field right there on the convention floor. it could happen. i think, in a way, this time looks more ripe for it than any other time because ted cruz will not go away. if ted cruz wins iowa -- a lot of the delegates will be divided proportionally, so do not have to win a state to win a certain amount of delegates. it means you can stay in the race for a while and gain support, even if you are not winning states. obviously, you would have to

to go through this ritual, donald trump, jeb bush, rand paul. so it just depends on what kind of candidate you are. but like you were saying, this is going to be a very different kind of conversation today. it's going to be a conversation focused on national security. when we talk about ben carson, being here right on the stage right now, this is a big debate for him. a candidate who has seen his numbers slip in the wake of the paris terrorist attacks, in the wake of san bernardino and he has to be on the stage and prove to voters they can trust him as a commander in chief, if he wants to see his numbers go back up. >> he's been criticized his own campaign advisers for his grasp on issues but he put out a tweet with a video to his supporters saying he wants questions on international affairs and national security. if so, it will be a slam dunk. but, you point out that donald trump has not come on to this stage. why exactly does he not want to come on the stage? >> well, i think donald trump is one of those candidates who likes to roll up at the event last possible moment and take

multiple issues.% dickerson: jeb bush seems to have found his place by stepping up his attacks on donald trump. will it be enough to revive his campaign? we talked to him in new hampshire. >> someone needs to call him out. dickerson: we'll hear from focus group of muslims about donald trump. plus we'll have political analysis and new poll numbers from our battleground tracker. all ahead on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs good morning, welcome to "face the nation" i'm john dickerson. democrats held a spirited debate last night in new hampshire sparred on the issues of wall street reform, foreign policy and health care. our new cbs news battleground tracker shows that haak is 5 1/4 points behind bernie sanders in the state of of new hampshire on kid trusses follows with 14. marco rubio at 1 and chris christie moved up into fourth place with 11%. the rest of the field is in single digits. during the iowa, it's senator ted cruz who some has taken the lead with 40% support. donald trump is at 31. marco rubio at 12 and ben carson plummeted down to 6%. rest of the field 2% or bel

with jeb bush. those who like trump going in still like him. those whoáÑ find him lacking still find him lacking. jeb bush was more feisty than usual but with nine folks on the stage his time was limited and he will most likely not see too much benefit. ben carson did not score many points and his dissent in the polls will likely continue. the cruz rubio back and forth interesting. both men articulate. cruz more conservative. rubio bigger threat to hillary clinton should he get the nomination. fight on terrorism should help in new hampshire where is he making his stand. carly fiorina rand paul and john kasich were fine but none of themdw did enough to move their poll numbers in my opinion. after a the debate charles krauthammer and i had our own back and forth over trump. charles believes the man is unqualified to be president and says some of trump's statements are quote nonsensical. i see things a bit differently. donald trump understands the anger sweeping america today. it and is tapping into that anger. he is not really concerned that much with policy right now. he is running on

at the polls, donald trump and ted cruz, to clash but it was jeb bush that went head to head with trump.jeb made several comments about trump, questioning the seriousness of his campaign. "donald, you know,#is great at the one liners, but he's a chaos s candidate, and d he'd be a aos president. he would not be the commander in chief we need to keep our country safe." 42 and you're at three, so so far, i'm doing better."(jeb bush/(r) presidential candidate) "doesn't matter. doesn't matter."(donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "so far, i'm doing better. you know, you started over here, jeb. you're moving over further and further. pretty soon, you're going to be off the end." end."trump also defended his cokments about a temporary ban on muslims entering the united states, saying it's not about isolation, but rather security. and even though cruz didn't really spar with trump, he was involved in more than a few heated exchanges with florida senator marco rubio. rubio.the two clashed o or u-s military intervention and the government using surveillance on americans.but most notabl

in new hampshire. if he loses there it's probably unlikely he will have much success. jeb bushes sessionally, i think the race is over for him. we'll be look at this trump, cruz, rubio,carson four-way race going into early next year after new hampshire. charles: do the non-establishment candidates pick those potential voters up? >> bush has 3% in this latest poll. carly fiorina is 1%. a complete collapse. kasich has 1 1/2 voters. what the key is going to be and what trump seems to be doing is winning people over on his own volition. what we have to see the establishment do, they will still have a campaign strategy likely with rubio and he's not moving up forward. he's still far behind cruz at this point. even though the numbers are different you see the trump and cruz dynamic. what mr. trump is going to have to do is unveil an actual technical traditional campaign because in places like florida and the larger states it's about television ads. you can't walk door to door. you can have a few big rallies but that's going to run out. >> he's got wind in his sales. he will probably do whatever it
